时文阅读+原创题1Chinese consumers have gone crazy for a childrens toy giveaway once again, this time for a plastic duck freebie promotion by Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).This week KFC launched a new promotion offering three different Pokemon toys as a free gift as part of a set meal to celebrate the June 1 Childrens Day.However, one toy in particular, an adorable dancing duck called Psyduck, which looks like a cross between a rubber bath toy and a plastic desk paperweight, quickly ran out of stock, China News Service reported.The adorable dancing Pokemon duck quickly became a must-have item with its cute appearance, music speaker and wings which can flap while it shakes its body. 2From healthy food, to a natural fertilizer, and to being used as a biofuel, the popularity of algae（藻）is increasing. Now, the first European carbon-neutral biorefinery（生物炼油厂）opened in Istanbul, Turkey, to make a number of useful products including biofuel. The refinery plans to provide a bio-jet fuel based on algae in order to reduce the dependence on non-renewable energy sources like fossil-fuels. It is a joint project by the European Union and Turkey. Algae is actually a very diverse group of photosynthetic（光合作用）aquatic organisms. People can grow algae in almost any climate due to the open or closed tanks that are available today. As long as we can provide this natural product with enough sunlight to create photosynthesis, then it has the capability to grow quickly. Whats more, oil is formed from ancient algae deposits. Today the worlds supply of oil is limited, and it makes sense to turn to algae biofuel as an alternative.  The refinery is set up inside Boaziçi University  near the Black Sea in a huge 2500 square-meter research and development space. The facility will be able to handle 1200 tons of algae per year. The refinerys electricity is provided by renewable wind power. The facility has a zero-waste target and intends to be carbon-negative. The country is counting on creating bio-jet fuel which can be blended with standard jet fuel. This will help cut its dependency on energy imports as well as cut its carbon emissions.“Switching to a structure where energy is used efficiently, the waste is minimized and recycled, and carbon footprints do not exist is a must for us. We have showed our determination on this path. We are making all preparations for the first flight using biofuel from here before the end of 2022,” Turkish energy and natural resources minister Mustafa Varank said.

A man disguised as an elderly woman in a wheelchair has thrown cake at the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting at the Louvre in Paris.The piece, which was undamaged, was left with white cream smeared across its protective glass. The perpetrator, seen wearing a wig and lipstick, urged people to "think of the Earth" while being led from the scene. The incident on Sunday was described by witnesses as being “jaw-dropping”. "It was jaw-dropping, it was a lot to take in considering how historic Mona Lisa is. the moment was once in a million." 4语法填空原创题 China is set 1. _( build) monitoring and defense systems protecting the planet 2. _ the dangers of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs).Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the China National Space Administration (CNSA), told China's CCTV News recently that China will start to build an Earth-based and space-based NEA 3. _(monitor) and warning system to ensure the safe, stable and 4. _(order) operation of spacecraft.Furthermore, China 5. _ (plan) to set up 6. _ NEA defense system, map out an NEA defense blueprint and develop virtual software to simulate NEA-derived risk scenarios.The country hopes to approach an asteroid to observe it 7. _(close) before impacting it to alter 8. _(it) orbit in 2025 or 2026, a rehearsal to prevent NEAs from endangering our planet in the future, according to Wu. Answers: 1. to build 2. from 3. monitoring 4. orderly 5. plans 6.an 7. closely 8. its学科网（北京）股份有限公司
